Ubuntu Members and employees of Canonical have emblems next to their names, indicating their affliation. Members are distinguished by a small Ubuntu logo next to their names, Canonical employees by a purple "O", a portion of Canonical's logo.

No worries. It wouldn't surprise me if it were possible before too long, but honestly, at the price they were selling at, I'm sure not going to complain. ;) (and this way you can switch back to webOS apps quickly when you need them -- for example, there isn't an ARM flash player available for ubuntu, but there is in the touchpad browser).

After doing some of my own research, it looks like Best Buy should have some additional stock TODAY (8/25) at the same sale price. Cheers and good luck! I CAN'T WAIT to get Android running on this thing baremetal.
